Not your everyday cuppa

The Oat Milk & Coffee trend making all other plant-based milks passé

Oat milk is on the scene and baristas can’t stop steaming, so much there is a shortage in coffee shops across the U.S. In fact sales of traditional milk have been dropping while plant-based alt. dairy is on a growth curve projected to hit $16B in 2018.

Oatly and Elmhurst both make a ‘milked oat’ which is super creamy and satisfying, yet delicate taste compliments any coffee and is the perfect canvas for latte artists.

How do you milk an oat? Traditionally the oats are mixed with water, enzymes break down the starch, and the loose shells from the oats are strained away.

The health benefits include: being lower in fat and sugar than other non-dairy or dairy drinks.
